Before a month ago my main performance goal was to get our boat to sail at least 4 knots. Well recently that all changed. With the addition of a new main sail, now under 110% Genoa and main our boat easily does 4 knots and depending on the point of sail and in a fresh breeze will do 5 knots. But what took the cake was running under spinnaker and main this past weekend. There was about a 15-20 knot breeze with a 2 foot sea with some up to three feet. We were cruising along at an average speed of about 6.5 knots on the gps. When we must have caught a gust and a bigger wave, suddenly we felt like we were on a roller coaster right as you go down that first big drop. The boat felt like it flew forward and accelerated to a brief top speed of 9.4 knots. I could not believe it, but of course at the time I was spending more effort trying to keep the boat from spinning out when when came off the surf. It was incredible. The only bad thing is now my goal has gone from trying to attain 4 knots as previously, to attempting to recreate the rush we felt this past weekend.
